  • Oh my goodness! This is the first one of these I have ever found! Something made me stop and pick up an odd shaped lump from the muddy Thames foreshore. I knew from the look and feel of it that there was something inside. My suspicions were soon confirmed! This is the first time I have found one of these and when I got it home I put it in a bucket of water to try to preserve it! During this outing I also find a lovely medallion but I cannot for the life of me see what is on it and so perhaps you can help me. There are also a few other things I could do with your help on.
    If you would like to try mudlarking you need a permit from the Port of London Authority. Details here:-

    Thank you for watching.

    See you soon.

    Nicola, I have to let you know you gave my mom so much comfort before she passed. She was always so against learning any type of technology, she would say, “there’s nothing on that cockamamie contraption that I need to see!” She was 85 years old when I showed her one of your videos of you finding a pipe, a porcelain doll head and a few buttons and she was fascinated. I gave her my old iPad and she learned to open CZcams and search your videos. She talked and talked about what you collected and the beautiful scenery you would show. You gave her peace and I can’t thank you enough. ❤

When I hear something like that it makes me feel so fortunate to be able to share something I love with people like your Mum. Sending you and her much Love. Nicola xx

      I've just been watching videos of my brother. He was the last of my family and he died far too young, 4 years ago (49 years old). A short time before he died he introduced me to Nicola's CZcams channel and they are now both inextricably connected in my mind, which is how I ended up back here tonight, and how I saw your post. Beautiful people like Nicola make such a difference to this world.

      There's an interesting backstory. The design was based on a nun's vision. A search online will do it better justice as well as good illustrations of it. And I too appreciate the birds at the shore as well as your choice of music. Your videos are a great way to take a serenity break from the chores of the day. And there's no limit to what a squirrel will do to B&E (break & enter) a bird feeder! Thanks, Nicola.

    16:22- Those are the metal bases from Loctal tubes for radios Dates from late 30's through the 1960's. often used in WW2 military radios. I have hundreds of the tubes for restoring old radios. Awesome find on the cannon ball. Very rare item here in the PNW of the U.S. On the cannonball, one can use a product called 'Rust Mort" or similar which will cause the rust to be chemically converted and will stop rust. If you can't find it there, try a panel beaters shop. They use it to stop rust on vehicles. IIRC, weigh the cannon ball. It's weight will indicate the size of cannon. Example: if it weighs 6 lbs. the cannon would have been a 6 pounder. My memory could be faulty on that info though.

So satisfying. I do love all the interesting finds you collect though. So much history scattered in and the mud. X

Maybe the fate of the polish bottle was still in the Mudlarking gods' hands and that it was meant for a new mudlark who sorely wanted to find their first complete bottle. That or maybe it's meant for someone mudlarking in the next century? Treasures come and go but memories are forever. #thesearcher

    I enjoy it when you show us parts of the history of your finds, like seeing the cannons. I also enjoy the wildlife you show interspersed in your videos, it's always so lovely, even the cawing of the baby crow, begging for food from its parent. I would love to have one of the copies of the magazine you're in, it would be fun to read. #THE SEARCHER

    Congrats on being on the cover of #thesearcher magazine... I enjoyed when you went on the field trip to the cannons. I wish I lived closer to be able to go mudlarking.... it looks like so much fun!

    It's always a joy to watch you uncover the history along the beautiful Thames! My favorite of the finds this time was the little mystery medallion. #TheSeacher Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. ❤

    As always a fascinating insight into lost history being found again. Love the cannon ball & actually seeing the pipe changing back from black was interesting. Congrats on the feature in the magazine too. Glad I stayed to the very end & caught the acrobatic squirrel footage 🤣 They are entertaining to watch. Thank you for sharing ❤️

    Always enjoy watching you find interesting pieces of history. Still don't know how you can spot tiny things in the mud as you walk along... Watching you and Si every Sunday is a ritual now. Cheers from Vancouver Island...

    This was my first mud larking video and I have to say it was adorable! I love that these objects lost to time are being reclaimed and shared with the world. The best part was hands down losing the bottle back to the tide. It will live on in a memory for us all. ❤ #thesearcher

      If you liked the lark, there are loads of them putting out videos. I highly recommend watching one of Nicolas done with her mate Simon, of Si-finds. He's quite a bit of fun.

      She is the queen of mudlarking, may I suggest you have a look at Kit and caboodlers mudlarking,they are lovely and enthusiastic.

    My favorite thing about this particular video is how exciting it was to pull up the cannonball! Imagine.... touching something where someone else placed their own hands well before you. Touching history! #thesearcher

    I enjoyed the history of George III and to find out he had such a long reign as King. I've been a searcher of trinkets and odd things since I was a child digging in the yard. #TheSearcher :) Congrats on your honor.

    I always love your editing and your wonderful historical finds. Born and raised a Texan but 90% of my DNA comes from the British Isles so I always believe the items you find could be from my ancestors. #THESEARCHER

    Good day Nicola! I super enjoyed watching today’s episode…Great seeing your daughter Grace too! You both look so much alike. I enjoyed hearing about your squirrel friend and was so happy to see him at the window…You and squirrel are both my favorite collectors of goodies! #thesearcher

    I loved seeing you get to spend some time exploring history with your daughter Grace, it’s so nice to get family time doing something you love. Also that hungry baby crow at the beginning was very cute. #thesearcher

    I've been taken mudlarking on the Thames several times this year. It takes some time to get your eye in, and I found my first pipe bowl on my last visit. I love the way you recreate the experience - the anticipation when you spot something and how it reveals itself as you prise it from the mud. #thesearcher

    I loved the bottle, it looked like it may have still had a cork/stopper and some of the original content although that could have been mud and river water too. #TheSearcher

    I just discovered your mudlarking videos this past summer and have been going back through the playlist. I enjoy catching a glimpse of a landmark and "Google mapping" along the Thames or the estuary to find your search location. I'm in the U.S., so each video is a mini travelogue, history lesson, and nature documentary. Thanks for all the fun.
